I have no complaints about my sons teacher. She has been great! But the after school program is a joke! I can’t speak for all the classes. But the one my son is in is terrible! Every time I pick him up the teachers are sitting in chairs away from the kids and sucked into their cell phones. My mother has picked my son up and no one acknowledges her and she’s never been ID. These after school teachers had no clue who my mother was or who she was there for. I’ve picked my son up before and no one even knew I was there because their cell phone was more important. I’ve personally witnessed one after school teacher named Ashley yelling at the kids. She even accused my 5 year old of stealing a penny that he actually took out of my wife’s car. She had this conversation in front of the entire classroom full of kids. That conversation should have been had in the hall with a witness present. My son was kicked in the face by another child and no one made me aware. I wasn’t called and no documentation was done. I had to find out by noticing the red foot mark on my child’s face. Kids will be kids. But I should’ve been made aware by one of the adults watching the children. But that’s the problem. They aren’t properly supervising the kids!
wow this year has been the worst....!!! i cant wait for my children to level up and leave this place. the staff is so DISRESPECTFUL to each orther and most of all the PARENTS. the teachers have no care in the world for the safty of there students. my son was attecked three different times and when questioned about what happend no one knew anything. his face was bleeding in multiple spots. the parking lot only has one handy cap spot and the staff gets mad when you park in it. PLEASE DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT LET YOUR CHILD(REN) GO HERE...!!!!!
